268 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 3

TRANSLATION

Thereafter, exactly when Vasudeva, being inspired by the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, was about to take the newborn
child from the delivery room, Yogamaya, the Lord’s spiritual en-
ergy, took birth as the daughter of the wife of Maharaja Nanda.

PURPORT

Srila Viévanatha Cakravarti Thakura discusses that Krsna appeared
simultaneously as the son of Devaki and as the son of Yasoda, along with
the spiritual energy Yogamaya. As the son of Devaki, He first appeared as
Visnu, and because Vasudeva was not in the position of pure affection
for Krsna, Vasudeva worshiped his son as Lord Visnu. Yasoda, however,
pleased her son Krsna without understanding His Godhood. This is the
difference between Krsna as the son of Yasoda and as the son of Devaki.
This is explained by Visvanatha Cakravarti on the authority of Hari-
varnsa.
